SUPERMARINE scored a club record of 129 unanswered points against beleaguered Bath Saracens on Saturday.

That trounced the previous record set in 2007 when Supermarine battered Sutton Benger 88-0.

The visitors turned up with just 12 players, which quickly went down to 11 following an injury and Marine took full advantage.

At half time Saracens were lent players in an attempt to even proceedings up, but it made little difference.

The huge margin of victory means the South Marston side leapfrog Swindon 2nds into second in Dorset & Wilts 1 North.

“It was a pretty bizarre situation,” admitted Supermarine director of rugby John Godsell.

“We kicked off, our flanker caught it and ran in. I thought it was a lucky one but then from the next kick off our second row did exactly the same thing.

“Full credit to Bath for coming down and fronting up, plenty of sides wouldn’t have bothered, but they were outplayed and outclassed. It was a rout.”

Elsewhere in the division, Fairford suffered a 21-10 defeat to Swindon 2nds while Minety won 44-18 at Calne.

Among the try scorers in the first half for Minety were Max Smith, Jonty Messer, Dale Langdown, and the boot of Ward made it 24-10 at half time.

After the break, Messer, Richard Fisher, Pete Hazell crossed the whitewash, although the latter tore his hamstring while charging in to score.

Minety 2nds narrowly lost 20-17 to Devizes 3rds. Ralph Wells (2) and Vishal Nashi scored tries for Minety.

Meanwhile, Supermarine Ladies head coach Sean Millwaters was upbeat despite his side’s 57-10 defeat at Henley.

Marine always tried to play positive rugby which pleased Millwaters, but he was understandably disappointed by the scoreline.

“Henley are a good team and it was always going to be hard, but we did okay at times and played some good stuff,” he said.

“It is never good to lose by so many but we have to take positives.”

Captain Claire Legg said: “We weren’t without our mistakes, but we put some good pressure on the opposition and played good rugby.”

Henley opened the scoring early on but Legg then crossed the line.

However, the hosts then capitalised on Supermarine weaknesses to score three more tries and make it 26-5 at the break.

Henley added another try minutes into the second period and four further tries were scored within 20 minutes, which opened the gap to 57-5.

In the final quarter of an hour Supermarine improved, but Candy Inskip’s try came far too late.
